Mine is still the stock 3.73 on my JTRD.

For comparison, here is my setup with KO2s and 0 offset methods.

What sliders are those?

They are Rock Hard angle down sliders with some skid/grip tape added to the top.

I can attest, hurts like hell when you miss your landing with that grip tape ?

Those are the Method 703’s +25 offset.

Did you get a chance to hike Jenny Lake Loop?

We had to stick to the national forest trails out there because National Parks don’t allow dogs on the trails.

Yeah, I guess I never saw any dogs on the Teton trails now that I think about it. Did see a young Grizz on the Jenny loop though. Likely why no dogs allowed. Jenny Lake in Background.

Trail east of the "Grand" past Slide Lake looking west.

Had a blast out there. Can’t wait to get back out there.

What are your guys thoughts on running these +25mm offset wheels with a lift kit? Basically, all lift kits say they require a 0 offset in order to not rub the beefier control arms. Thoughts? I want the +25mm wheels but Clayton says they require less than like 4.75 inches of backspacing (0 offset). I know they rub on wranglers but the gladiator has 1.5" wider axles for the Rubicon, Mojave and Max Tow.

Just bringing this question back to the surface to see if there's any more input. Reading through the thread, I see that the AEV lift should work (and is advertised to do so with wheels with +25 offset). I also see that @Plywood was able to fit 37s with a Clayton 2.5" lift with +25 offset wheels and 37x11.5 Nittos. Anybody else have experience with positive offset/tucked wheels and other lift kits?

I really want to go with the Teraflex ST3, as it seems to have the right balance of vehicle dynamics I'm looking for, but they require 4.5 backspacing /0 offset. I contacted their customer service for more details and they said the front tires would contact the sway bar links and control arms if I went with the +25 wheels I'd prefer. I wonder if the narrower Nitto would give enough clearance like it does for the Clayton kit...
